lie Bow, so called on account of its stone
yaulting. Before the church was a fitting
ground, but all the rest of the open space
was let ont. from time to time, for the
sheds OF various dealers, arranged by their
trades. These were the tradesmen of
London. They were MERGERS and diapers,
and cloth-wOrkers, and grOeers, and iron
monSerS, and winners and q variety of
other trades. They understood their
various crafts and followed them. Some
Of them had organized into guilds and
companies; but it had not become general
until after accession of Edward /. The
lear that London would fall into the hands
oil some local tyrant, and then into the
hanus oil the King, was one Of the motives
Hhleh prompted the organization of these
companies, and subsequently the union of
the hVery companies, in the government
Of the City OF London. During the whole

were gradually attaining a more perfect

European illustrated PAPERS.

1 have been frequently asked what I
thought of the illustrated papers of the
Old World. My answer is, that they ap-
pear to me to be very much behind ouxs
in several respects, and notably in oreapi-
cation. For example, the engrayers and
artists in Europe are allowed to take their
work home, where they do, it each, in his
own way, and of course, saeh, a system
necessitates an enormous waste Of time,
and prevents them from. performing the
rapid high pressure, feats which we &C
complish in the Vnited States. Although
European illustrated papers do Dot keep
abreast with the events of the moment as
ours do, still there is one point of srperi.
GRITTY which am forced to accord them.
viz, a more perfect finish and a more ar,
tistic treatment, due, of course, to the
greater leisUe Of preparation.-Mrs,
Frank Leslie's Letter.

Diet of Stroup Man

Unoer the heading of '::The Diet pf
Strong Men, you say: ''The. coolie fed on
rice is more active and can endure Ylore
than the negro fed on fat meat"
This is not at all the case in the British
colony of Demerara, on the northeast
coast of South America. There the COO
lies, who are imported from India. are tbe
least robust of the three races EMPLOYED
as laborers. They are not at all m,1scu-
Lar, and are employed in hoedng the crops
and in similar light labor. The China
men, who are never called coolies there.
are stronger, and they, too, are employed
in the crops, and also in mechanical and
general labor. But the heavy work, the
digging of bitches, the handling of heavy
ttmbers, ETC., is always done by negroes.
No planter will employ coolie in such
work, for his muscular strength is not
equal to it, nor to any severe labor.
The coolie does not confine his diet to
rice, nor the negro his to meat. In De-
merara the chief food of the laborer is salt
Goldfish and plantains The eoolie proba-
bly, eats more rice and less meat than the,
negro, but in other respects their food is
about the same.-G Robertson in Scien-
tific American,

A special word for the coffee is needed.
The Turkish coffee is seldom liked at first
by strangers, but it does not take long for
one to learn to like that so well that no
other coffee ever tastes half SO good.
There is a small brass thing between a
dipper and kettle with a capacity for
two, four or more cups marked upon it.
Into this is put cold water, a teaspoon
heaping full of sugar for each cup and a
small teaspoonful of coffee ground as fine
as flour for each person. These are added
to the cold water, and then the ebrick, or
coffee kettle, ia pushed down into the
Goals OF the manga, or brazier, and just as
it is on the point of boiling, before it does
the coffee is poured into tiny porcelain
cups, which hold as much as half an egg
shell. This cup is then placed into
beautiful gold or silver filagree coffee
holder, and is served with a tray of
glasses of water. First you drink the
water to leave your mouth clean enough
to appreciate to the full the delicious
aroma of the coffee. No milk or cream is
added and the coffee is thick with
grounds, and on the top of each cup
should be foam called kaimac, or cream.
AS soon as you enter a harem the chief
lady, or bascadine hanum, claps her
hands and the caffeejee, or coffee bearer,
brings coffee.-Olive Harper in Philadel-
phia Times

NO TASTE IN THE TIP OF THE
TONGUE.
Boston Journal of Commerce.

Boston Journal of Commerce.
Strictly speaking, with the tip of
the tongue me can't really taste at
all. If you put small drop of hon
ey or oil of bitter almonds on that
part Of the mouth you will find, no
doubt, to your surprise. that it pro-
duces no effect of any sort; you only
taste it when it begins slowly to diff
fuse itself, and reaches the true tast-
ing region in the middle distance.
But if you put little cayenne pep
per or mustard on the same part you
will find that it bites you immedi-
ately-tbe experiment should be
tried sparingly-while if you put it
lower down in the mouth you will
swallow it almost without noticing
the pungency of the stimulant. The
reason is that the tip of the tongue
is supplied only with the nerves,
which are really nerves OF touch.not
nerves Of taste proper; they belong
to totally different main branch,
and they go to different center in
the brain, together with the very
similar threads which supply the
nerve Of smell for mustard and pep
per. That is why the smell and
taste Of these pungent substances
are so much alike, as everybody
must have noticed, good sniff at a
mustardpot producing almost the
same irritating effects as an incau-
tious mouthful. When one is try
ing deliberate experiments on the
subject, in order to test the varying
sensitiyeness of the different parts
of different substances, it is necessa-
ry to keep the tongue quite dry in
order to isolate the thing you are
experimenting with and prevent its
spreading to all parts Of the mouth
together. In actual practice this
result is obtained in rather ludi-
rous manner-by blowing upon the
tongue between each experiment
with pair of bellows. To such un
dignified exI'edients does the pur-
suit of science lead the modern
psychologist.

The first eruption of Vesuyius
took place in A. ID. 70. Warning
had been given sixteen years before
in the terrible earthquake which
shattered the cities of Herculaneum
and Pompeii. Prior to this Vesuvius
was not suspected of being a volca-
no. It's sides were covered with ia.
nous vines, and its ancient crater
was the stronghold of the rebel chief,
Spartacus. AT that time Pompeii
was buried under twenty feet of
loose ashes, and remained lost to the
world until century ago. Hercu
laneum was spread over by a torrent
of mud, which, by subsequent erup-
tions, now forms a crust of eighty or
one hundred feet thickness. Since
then Vesuvius has always been an
active volcano, irregular in eruption;
about sixty, large and small, have
taken place, the most famous of
which, next to the one described by
Pliny, was the one of 1879. Sir
William Hamilton gives an intense
ly interesting account Of this, he
having been British Minister at Ma
Piles. Enormous clouds of white
smoke rose to height of four times
that of the mountain. Then came
lava flow, followed by columns Of
fire more than two miles high, and
accompanied by showers of stones
and ashes. There were eruptions
also in 1874, 1856, a fearful one in
1872, one equally brilliant, but less
destructive, in 1878, and another in
1880.

HOW TO PLANT WALNUT
TREES.
Chicago Tribune.

l wish to give 4 liGtle piece ofval-
liable information in regard to sub
iect which daily comes under my OBJ
servation-that of making success
of growing walnut timber. A great
many in the spring and fall of each
year procure the nuts for planting
purposes. At the very outstart of
theemigration to Dakota, whenlands
were given away under contract COM
pelling each and every one to grow
timber, there had been greater de-
mand for the black varieties and for
the white walnut than any other va
rieties, and in the future the wood
will be very valuable. Those who
are familiar with the black walnut
know that the nut, when it falls from
the tree, is closely enveloped by its
own hull. the whole being three times
the size of the nut when it is shuck-
cd. This covering is of tough,
fungus-like substance, which, if al
lowed to remain on the ground, alb
serbs the moisture from dews, frosts,
rain or snow. 1t is furthermore
covered by the falling leaves. The
shell of the nut itself being very
hard, requires by nature this damp
casing in order to open the nut and
allow the kernel to perform its duty
to sprout and grow. knowing
that many have purchased the nuts
as they are properly cleaned of their
husks for market, and, having plant
ed them in the ground as one would
plant corn, have made Il failure, l
give from the practical experience
that l possess 4 correct method to
insure success, and comply as nearly
to Natures operations as one can. [
recommend placing the nuts on the
bare surface of the soil, mulching
them with either light manure, straw
hay or leaves. Then the nut as it
opens will grow in both directions
into and out Of the ground. The
trees can be transplanted successful
". Trees grown in this State that
/ am familiar with now measure
eighteen inches in the trunk with
twenty years growth. As the soils
of Nebraska and Dakota are claimed
to be as rich as those Of Illinois, no
doubt larger growth may he had.

cago firm for 5000 to 5000 bushels
for the purposes CT utilizingthe same
in the manufacture Of household ar
ticles that are very unique. would
strongly recommend the procuring
of nuts in their own hull, with the
expectation of securing the very best
results. The day is not distant in
this country when nuts of all kinds
will become scarce, and in order to
keep up a supply the nut bearing tree
must be reproduced.

HEIGHT AND WEIGHT FROM
INFANCY TO OLD AGE.
Swiss Cross.

Taken in connection with DR..
Mason's questions in '"The Chill
dren's Hour" of this number of the
.Sriss Gross, the following results of
researches made by Wagner have
special interest: On the average,
he finds, a child from six months TO
eight years grows in height about q
per cent. each year. The weight Of
the body goes on increasing to the
eighth year, rising in boys to fifty
pounds and in girls to fortyseven
and one half. From the eighth I'M
til puberty boys increase in height
55 per cent. each year; they gain
about five pounds in weight per year,
and girls a little more, so that in
the twelfth year children Of both
sexes weigh, on the average, about
seventy. five pounds. From thirteen
to twenty years youths grow some
80 per cent. and girls 20. The in
crease of weight is even more rapid
than before, reaching las pounds in
boys eighteen years old, and girls of
the same age about seventeen
pounds less. In his fortieth year
man attains his maximum weight,
say 159 pounds, and then begins to
lose flesh, but women continue to
grow heavier, reaching about nine
teen pounds less at the fortieth year,
but more than men at the fiftieth.
Between forty five and sixty men be
come corpulent and.women rapidly
grow older.
